ANNUAL REPORT
OF THE
SCHOOL COMMITTEE
OF THE
TOWN OF RANDOLPH
FOR THE
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1894.
39
REPORT OF THE SCHOOL COMMITTEE.
To the Citizens of Randolph :
While the report of a school board is not designed to be an educational essay, nor a panegyric upon the excellence of our national or local institutions, it is proper and desirable that we should, from time to time, briefly call to mind, lest we perhaps lose sight of them, some of the more important conditions upon which the success of our system of public instruction depends, and to use these principles as standards by which the perfection or imperfection of this system as applied in our own community is to be measured.
The public schools are so intimately connected with the progress of the American Commonwealth in the promotion of good citizenship, of democratic principles, of that race- amalgamation which makes one people out of many, and that companionship which brings into close relations in early life children of widely different social surroundings and in- fluences, that their careful preservation and rational devel- opment should be at all times one of the chief endeavors of the State and of the town. No reasonable expense to per- fect them should be spared, and so long as they are con- ducted under the tolerant and liberal legislative regulations which characterize their management in Massachusetts,- regulations in the framing of which men of different races, creeds and classes have participated, seeking to make them non-partisan, unsectarian training grounds for those princi-
40
ples of equality and toleration for which this country is, and should remain, the exponent,-we should take care lest by any neglect, however slight, in our duties as citizens or as parents their usefulness be in the least impaired. Any blow at them is a menace to the principles which underlie the structure of our government.
Massachusetts has an enviable record in the annals of edu- cation, and each individual town being, as it is, responsible for the conduct and prosperity of its own schools, should take special pride in performing its duty in this respect both for the sake of its own growth and prosperity, and that it may not fall below the standard set by the Common- wealth, nor be the object of unfavorable comparison with other communities.
It is pre-eminently the duty of each citizen, whether he has children attending school or not, to vote understand- ingly and liberally upon all matters touching the adminis- tration of, and expenditures in, this department ; it is, also, we submit, the duty of all parents, as it should be their pleasure, so far as the demands of their employment permit, to personally visit the schools which their children attend. Your Committee are informed that parental visits to the schools of this town are very infrequent. This is the more regretable, that these visits afford the only means by which parents can inform themselves as to the methods of discipline adopted in school, the efficiency of which the parent by in- telligent co-operation can very materially promote. If, on the other hand, the parent and teacher do not work together in this respect, and there is, which too frequently occurs, a lack of harmony in the school and home discipline, insub- ordination is apt to result in one or the other, and disputes have arisen from this cause between the teacher and parent which it is sometimes difficult for the School Committee, when complaint is made to to them, to reconcile.
41
To these duties should be added that of inculcating in the child, as far as possible, an interest and ambition in school- work, with an early idea of its importance in the attainment of success in life : and each parent should particularly en- doavor to see to it that his child's attendance at school is punctual and regular. Irregularity of attendance has been one of the most frequent causes of complaint from the teachers, and we earnestly urge parents to take especial pains that their children are not absent except for illness, or some equally adequate cause.
STATE INSPECTION AND CONTROL OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS.
One of the special efforts of the State, during the last five or six years, has been that school-buildings shall be ventilated and heated in accordance with modern sanitary ideas, and power has been given by the Legislature (Acts of 1888, chap. 149) to the Board of District Police to reg- ulate and enforce improvements in this direction whenever in their judgment such improvements are required. It was in pursuance of such a law so enforced that, several years ago, we raised and expended a considerable sum upon Stet- son Hall, and particularly the rooms occupied by the High School. It has not been the policy of the Board of Police, in the exercise of its discretion, to impose too great a bur- den in any one year upon any one municipality, but your Committee has both in 1893 and 1894 received imperative directions to proceed to the improvement of the ventilatory and heating appliances and apparatus in the Prescott School building. These directions have not, of course, been dis- regarded ; we have, however, thus far been able by sug- gesting to the chief of the Board of Police that the financial situation of the town at a time of depression in business, and immediately following the large outlay attendant upon the putting in of a system of water-works. has been such
·
42
that it would have been a burden to undertake such an extensive expenditure as the contemplated alteration and improvement would entail. We have been obliged, how- ever, to intimate, if not to promise, that we would not again ask to be relieved, and it is understood by the State Board that we are to make these changes in the Prescott building during the current year. In that event we shall need an appropriation for this purpose of about $2,000, ac- cording to the estimate of the District Inspector.
SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENCE.
Another effort of the State educational control, and one. which has been frequently and fully discussed both in our previous reports and in town meeting, is to induce towns to take advantage of the laws providing for school super- intendence. Upon this point, we are of opinion that there can be no doubt that the efficiency of public schools is very considerably promoted by well directed superintendence, and we recommend, as we have heretofore done, that the town take the necessary measures to secure that constant and intelligent control and supervision of its school system, as a whole, which no person not especially trained for the pur- pose, equipped with modern ideas of education, and able to give his whole time to it, is fitted to undertake.
This is very strongly advocated by the State Board of Education, and there are now comparatively few towns in the Commonwealth where a superintendent is not employed. Under the liberal provision of the law, the expense to each town is slight.
THE CONDITION OF THE SCHOOLS.
We are glad to be able to report that your schools are in excellent condition. The buildings have been kept in good repair, and, so far as we have been able, every appliance
43
that is needed for the comfort and progress of the pupils has been provided, and modern and approved text-books have been carefully selected. The teachers, without exception, have done faithful and efficient work which cannot be too highly commended. There have been fewer complaints to the Committee, either on the part of teachers or parents, during the past year than usual, and these have been upon matters which we have generally found it easy to adjust sat- isfactorily. On the whole, we believe that the schools of Randolph will bear the test of a close scrutiny and that they are successfully accomplishing all that can be reasonably re- quired of them.
4
A detailed statement of the expenditures in this depart- ment for the year ending December 31, 1894, is annexed to this report.
TEACHERS' MEETINGS.
We have this year revived the custom, which had unfor- tunately fallen into disuse, of holding stated monthly meet- ings of the teachers. The general purpose of these meetings is to compare notes and exchange ideas upon matters of per- sonal experience in the school, and to discuss, after more or less preparation on the part of the teachers, particular topics announced beforehand, connected with the administration of the schools. These meetings have been found to be profit- able and interesting, and their effect is unquestionably bene- ficial. They will be continued during the coming year.
